CAR CONVERSION.
It would appear that tho "storm in a tea cup", regarding car conversion has subsided and rightly so. All the righteous indignation voiced recently, all the destructive criticism levelled at the Minister of Justice, was unwar ranted. Conversion, I submit, is not the t, Inor is it a mere mitigating word meani o theft. To prove theft it is necessary to P r that a person intends to permanently dep*l another person of his property. I" j ° in cars there is no suggestion of this, the motor is afterwards abandoned. Ok®®, ing tho way in which motorists treat vehicles by leaving them overnight in unloc garages, and by abandoning them for hours ill-lighted streets, I cannot help but ' that these motorists, who are usually loudest complainers for the public , > vel ' are themselves deserving of some censure, seems foolish to tempt a felon to comtni crime, and then to bemoan the P re ™^L n .£® it, ' FROM ALL ANGLES.
